Abstract: The Al2O3 platelet was used as the 2D reinforcement to improve the mechanical properties of building ceramic slabs. The effects of particle size and mixing amount of Al2O3 platelet on relative density, mechanical properties, phase compositions and microstructure of building ceramic were explored, and the strengthening-toughening mechanisms of the Al2O3 platelet were elucidated in this work. The results show that the water absorption and apparent porosity of the building ceramic were increased, and its relative density was decreased gradually with the increasing mixing amount of Al2O3 platelet. The inhibition of Al2O3 platelet on the densification of building ceramic can be weakened by reducing the particle size of Al2O3 platelet, resulting in a more excellent strengthening-toughening result of the Al2O3 platelet with a particle size of 5 μm compared with that of the Al2O3 platelet with a particle size of 10 μm. The flexural strength and fracture energy of the building ceramic prepared by the addition of 5wt% of the Al2O3 platelet with a particle size of 5 μm can be up to (71.6±5.5) MPa and (296.2±45.3) J/m2, which are 25.2% and 46.5% higher than those of the blank sample prepared without Al2O3 platelet. The crystal phase and flaky structure of Al2O3 platelet can be remained in the building ceramic matrix after the sintering process, and the interfacial bonding between the Al2O3 platelet and ceramic matrix is well; furthermore, the mechanical properties of building ceramic can be effectively improved by using the multiple combination of strengthening mechanisms (composite strengthening, crack pinning, dispersion strengthening and prestress reinforcement) of the Al2O3 platelet. The proposed strengthening-toughening technology via Al2O3 platelet is an effective method to improve the service safety and reliability of building ceramic slab, and also is conductive to promoting the fabrication of ultrathin building ceramic slabs.
